RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk split a two-game week – defeating Boston and league rival Emmanuel, 73-69, before slipping at Johnson & Wales, 94-57 – to move to 8-7 on the season and 3-3 in conference action, which puts the Rams in seventh place in the standings. 

As a team, Suffolk is scoring 70.4 ppg with Thomas Duffy (15.5 ppg) and Michael Hagopian (15.4 ppg) leading the way. Brendan Mulson joins the pair in double figures as the freshman averages 10.1 ppg to go along with a team-leading 5.5 rpg. Kevin Querusio is second on the squad on the glass, grabbing 4.3 rpg with Hagopian and Duffy contributing 4.1 rpg and 3.9 rpg, respectively, to the defensive effort.

CADETS CATCHUP
Since meeting Suffolk Jan. 9, Norwich has gone on a three-game win streak including a 101-59 triumph at Rivier Saturday to improve to 6-8 overall and 3-2 in league play. 

The Cadets drop 74.9 ppg as a team with a quartet of players recording double figures paced by Jesse Davis' 13.8 ppg. Joe Bertrand (12.4 ppg), Ryan Booth (12.2 ppg) and Mike Hogervorst (10.2) ppg) round out the players in double digits.   

Three of the four led the way on the defensive end as well with Booth pulling down a team-best 5.0 rpg. Hogervorst's 4.9 rpg are good for second, while Bertrand completes the trio with 4.6 rpg.
